The Houston Texans have limped into the postseason after losing their top two quarterbacks in back-to-back games, but they still won enough games to be the No. 3 seed and the Ravens' division round opponent if they can score a fourth consecutive victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. That's going to be a taller order with former third-string QB T.J. Yates (above) nursing a sore shoulder, but it would be the best outcome for the Ravens, who handled the Texans pretty well here in Week 6 — and that was when Houston still had a healthy Matt Schaub.
